In his first-ever interview, the sole Australian survivor of the Waco siege has revealed to 60 Minutes what really took place during the 51-day stand-off, and why he believes crazed cult leader David Koresh will one day return to Earth as the son of God.

The court heard he had turned his life around with the support of his partner, but he continued to abuse alcohol and illicit drugs.

The judge noted his absence from his young children would make prison more onerous, urging him to use the time “to reflect on the fact you have deprived Jaiden Walker of the opportunity to enjoy having a family of his own.”

The victim’s father said “one person made a really bad decision that’s ruined two families.”
